By Mark Barry, Reckless Records, London HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
Willy DeVille's "Miracle" was released in 1987 in the UK on Polydor across 3 formats.
The LP was Polydor POLH 39, the cassette 833 669-4 and the CD 833 669-2.

It was produced by MARK KNOPFLER of DIRE STRAITS and featured his distinctive and beautiful guitar work across all 10 of its tracks. There's superlative contributions also from JEFF PORCARO of TOTO on drums, CHET ATKINS on guitar gracing the gorgeous "Heart & Soul" and backing vocals provided by the lovely Margo Buchanan and Vikki Brown on 4 of the 10 tracks. All tracks are written by DeVille except "Could You Would You", which is a Van Morrison cover off the 2nd Them album from 1966, "Them Again". The song "Spanish Jack" is a co-write with KNOPFLER.

The album was a Full Digital Recording carrying the then desirable DDD code on the back of the sleeve - and was of course an audiophile's dream. Beautifully produced by Knopfler and played sweetly by all, the album gave vent to DeVille's New Orleans street romanticism - a style and a way about him that has captured his fans since his stunning "Cabretta" debut on Capitol in 1977.

"Miracle" received good reviews at the time, and with a heavy-hitter like Knopfler on board, it should have garnished better sales and exposure, but for some reason it failed to break into the top 50 here in the UK. It's worth mentioning that it officially spurned 2 singles here in the UK, which had 3 formats each (7"/12" and CD Single).

The 1st was "Miracle" (CD single Polydor POCD 891) 1. Miracle. 2. I Call Your Name 3. Could You Would You. You'll no doubt notice that "I Call Your Name" is a NON-ALBUM track and is an absolute sweetie. A real shame Raven didn't use it as a bonus track here where it would have matched the release.

5.0 out of 5 stars DeVille's Details 27 Nov 2002
Format:Audio CD
Not a very well known album this, but don't let that deter you. It contains excellent songs from start to finish. First of all, you will hear everything from love songs (Angel Eyes) to political satire (Southern Politician) but yet the whole collection is definitely one coherent album. The lyrics (they're clearly sung throughout, by the way) are in turn, clever, affecting and poetic. The music is sharp at all times and includes a cameo from Mark Knopfler. I usually don't even listen to this type of country/rock stuff, but I make an exception for this.

4.0 out of 5 stars I call your name 1 May 2009
Format:Audio CD
I agree with reviewer, Miracle was a great album, and I call your name was a sublime track, with Mark Knopfler on guitar. It was a bonus track not on the album, I had to buy the single to get it. Willy has since released this track as an acoustic track, but the original is in my opinion the definative version. Like reviewer, when I heard of Raven's re-release with four bonus tracks I was sure I call your name was a certainty to be included. If you have never heard the Knopfler version, search it out, it's my all time favourite Willy Deville song, Maw.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miralcle Willie De Ville 27 Nov 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
An excellent album extremely well produced by Mark Knofler who also features on the album. This was a comeback album of sorts and in my opinion it was a triumph.It contains various musical genres which makes it interesting to listen to and it shows his versatility both as a performer and composer.For those who are unfamiliar with Mr DeVille this album is a brilliant introduction to the man and his music.

Not only did mans journey into space peak between 1969 and 1972 during which the 12 (only what ? 8 left alive) men who walked on the moon did their stuff : music also peaked during those years. The rest is just winding down and fiddling about. 15 1 hour ago
